I have ALS... But there is hope for me, my condition seems to have stopped progressing. I have already lived a lot longer than anyone thought I would.
I can't speak, I use a little computer, a Franklin, it speaks for me. I still walk a short distance, with a walker. I need help dressing, in and out of bed, showering... I have lots of good help.. I live in a very nice health care center, were I'm well cared for, which frees the burden on friends and family...
I have an electric wheelchair, a laptop computer with DSL, Dish TV with HBO, a dvd-vcr player and lots of books, magazines. So I have all I need to stay busy...
